Dear Donna,
It has been twelve years-- the pain is always there...
My son Taylor died in a car accident in 2005. Some days I ache just like his passing was yesterday. I am sure your family aches too-- I am always here if you would like to take a walk and have a visit. Sending you and your family, healing and support, Mary G. Anderson

Dear Donna & the Andrighetto Family,
My prayers are with each of you. Donna, our mutual friend, LuAnn White, left me the sad news. I also lost my 22-year old son, Taylor, in a car accident.

May you and your family always be surrounded with love, support and care-- you are of strong faith. Please ask for help when you need it. God bless you and your dear son Anthony.

Dear Andrighetto Family,
My son is a member of the JV basketball team at Our Mother of Sorrows School. As a parent, I felt blessed to have Anthony as a coach and a role model for the boys. My heart broke when I heard about the accident, and I share in your sadness and grief. Please know that Anthony was very special to the Our Mother of Sorrows School community, and we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Our deepest condolences.

I knew Anthony through his coaching at Our Mother of Sorrows. The court has been left with a void as have the kids whom he taught. I pray that God will give you comfort during this time. My 9 year old daughter asked why Anthony? Our response was that God needed a basketball coach in Heaven and knew that Anthony was perfect for it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always.

Dear Andrighetto Family,
It is impossible to make sense out of this. Coming from the bay area, we have all been given great lives with great advantages, but Anthony exemplified how to use all that we have been given to provide the many fortunes we have for others. I knew Anthony at St. Raymonds but also saw him around Pacific Athletic Club while in high school. While in middle school and high school, Anthony had the unique ability to make others happier, simply because he was happy, and use his athleticism to make others work harder. Anthony truly was a humbling breath of fresh air to every community he touched. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn Anthony's loss.

Laurie Laychak

Dear Andrighetto Family,
My son, Zach, is at UA in Dante's pledge class at Delta Chi. This tragic news is such a shock. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. May you take comfort in knowing that Anthony is in God's loving arms. Until you meet again, may God provide the strength you need to get through each day. With loving thoughts and prayers,
Laurie, Jim, Zach, and Jennifer Laychak

Dear Andrighetto Family,
We don't know you, but our daughter, Natalie knew Anthony. Originally from ppsl & wcal track, and then she met Anthony again at U of Arizona, and was deeply saddened by this tragedy. In just a short amount of time, he touched her life deeply. I imagine this is the impression he had on many. Since we received the call that night from her about the accident, we have had you all in our prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss. Most Sincerely,
Joe, Venecia, Natalie and Amelia Jacobs

From one SFHS family to another, our heartfelt condolences for your loss. Both of my daughters spoke highly of Anthony while while at SFHS and I truly enjoyed watching him as an athlete. Having played on Steve's baseball team in Millbrae in the 1970s (coached by Steve's dad) I saw alot of Steve in Anthony on the playing field. It brought back memories. Our best to you all during this trying time. Thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

October 23, 2011

My deepest sympathy to the Andrighetto family. I knew Anthony from Our Mother of Sorrows where he was my assistant coach basketball last year. I am very lucky to have known him, he was a great coach with a lot of energy, very bright, and a lot of heart. He really did leave everything on the court with his players, and they, and I, all respected him. I wish his family will find comfort in knowing that he did not let a day go buy without affecting his team in a very positive way. The world is a better place because of what Anthony did to help young people. I know he is missed tremendously already. Thank you,
Louie Robles
